Back

The horizon changes radically in Josh Begley’s video work as it uses a satellites’ point of view. His film Best of Luck With the Wall travels in 6 hypnotic minutes the entire extension of the Mexican and United States border. The artist stitched more tan 220.000 images from Google Maps in which the borders’ is read as a socio-political horizon. Best of Luck… was produced by the journalist Laura Poitras (author of the documentary Citizen Four about Edward Snowden) and Andy Moor, from the seminal anarchist post-punk band The Ex, composed its soundtrack.
